Janet Tanner

Janet Tanner is a prolific and well-loved author and has twice been shortlisted for RNA awards. Many of her novels are multi-generational sagas, and some  in particular the Hillsbridge Quartet  are based on her own working class background in a Somerset mining community. More recently, she has been writing historical and well-received Gothic novels for Severn House  a reviewer for Booklist, a trade publication in the United States, calls her a master of the Gothic genre.
